    Remember, the boxers that put Maidana down, recently, were very large light welters. Khan is surely a natural welter, and Ortiz could easily be a LMW.

    I go with Marcos on this one. He has been tested a bit more. Maybe when Bam Bam gets more experience he will have a better chance.

    I'd like to see a round-robin between Rios, Maidana, Alverado, and Cote.

    I'd favor Rios to take it.

    I have to go with Maidana for I think he's got the heavier hands.

    Rios: "I hope to get Marquez or Maidana, I Need a War!" (From the Scene)

    Hopefully it happens! The fans also need a war!

    Rios gets hit, but he hardly takes a clean punch. He has underrated defense. Look at his face after Saturday night. Guy is a bit crafty on the inside. I would probably favor him over anybody at 140 I think.

    I love how people talk about a top rank guy fighting a golden boy fighter like it will actually happen...

    I have no doubt Rios power will carry with him to 140. However, I don't see him stopping Maidana.

    Great fight. For some reason I see Rios eeking out a controversial decision, but I wouldn't be surprised if Marco took him out late.

    Good fight if it can be made. I still can't stand Rios for his infamous jokes at Roach even though he looks like he has been in special needs classes all his life. I believe Maidena is moving up to 147 anyway.
